Nepal Part 7: Paiya to Namche

We made our steady ascent up to Namche over 2 days. There is a dramatic change when we approach Lukla. Suddenly the sleepy tea houses in the foothills where we had the trails to ourselves are replaced with crowds of tourists, porters, donkeys and the continuous sound of helicopters.

The mountains are getting bigger and the excitement builds as we have our first views of Everest.
